You're right. But more people are talking about him now than before the election. He's already set himself up to run against Obama in 2012. And he'll bring examples of Obama's preference to side with corporations over citizens. You betcha.

I think the answer to that is obvious. It can't be a racist term given that it's a black term for black people beholden to "the man".

maybe not a racist term ,well being called a Nazi is, but it is still a slander.And a slander is a slander no matter the term used.


But as much as I disagree with Nader in politics he does have a point,the same point that all 3rd party politics have and that is diehard Democrats and Republicans rant at each other accusing the other of pandering to a certain entity yet both pander to usually the same thing.......money and power.They "say" what they will do for you,but in the end they give you just enough scraps to make you think they did something for you but really they screwed you.

And they know they can do that because they know you will stick to one of them anyway.They offer you door #1 or #2 and know you will overlook door #3.

I love the expression at 2:20

This is classic media bias. The Anointed One must not be questioned, not on anything, not even on his campaign promises which he seems to be backtracking on very quickly.
